STEEL LINTELS
KEYSTONE SOLUTIONS SPEEDS UP CONSTRUCTION TIME WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON QUALITY... Shaping innovationwith Keystone special lintels
A s more builders and self-builders include architectural features into house designs, Keystone Lintel’s bespoke special steel lintels - designed to accommodate these features – continue to grow in popularity. These lintels can range from a bespoke corner, arch or bay window to a straight lintel with unusual loading conditions. Many builders are now including large span bi-fold doors into their design, which require a special type of lintel above to minimise deflection. Keystone can create a structural solution to accommodate these features. Special Lintels are the solution when an unusual shape, scale or loading condition requires a bespoke solution. These made-to-measure lintels enable flexibility and creativity in order to inspire endless possibilities during design. Arches over front doors and windows can be achieved in a variety of styles, from the wide parabolic arch to a pointed Venetian arch, creating a welcoming and homely architectural style. Keystone has a team of engineers
providing a free design service and can create a bespoke solution for any design. All they need is a set of plans and they will design a structural solution. By working with Keystone engineers at an early stage of the design process, builders will potentially gain significantly more design flexibility for the overall project. A bespoke Keystone Sun Lounge Lintel can increase the square footage of a house, while offering reduced build times and optimum performance. The ‘one piece’ unit removes the need for local engineering as it is designed and delivered to site ready for erection, allowing architects and developers to design the sun lounge to suit the property in a cost-efficient manner. The Sun Lounge Lintel, from Keystone can be supplied in any size to suit exact requirements. An extension to the Special Lintels range is Keystone’s Brick Feature Lintels range. Keystone combines its structural expertise with its patented brick slip adhesion system to deliver contemporary brick detailing. The Brick Slip Feature Lintels range addresses the issue of skills
shortages on site and offers a unique way to enhance the quality of brickwork detailing in a highly labour-efficient way. Obviously speed of construction is also another important benefit as these products are designed and manufactured bespoke to order and delivered as one piece units ready for final pointing. The health and safety benefits include reducing movements on site and reduced time working at heights. When used on large developments where the same arch for example may need to be replicated many times, the quality and consistency achieved in a factory-controlled environment offers peace of mind that the quality achieved will be as designed.
